Time to dust off the tire chains and go get stuck as a group again. I will “host” our not so annual Christmas tree run here in balmy Hinton. My randomly selected date is Dec 10. What I have in mind is meeting in Hinton early in the morning on Dec 10th, drive 20 minutes north of town, drive down...

I’m going to drive my truck on rocks from March 25 to April 3rd. Currently it’s just me but consider this your invitation. My current plan is to tow my truck there with my other truck, stay in my tent in a campground, drive my truck on rocks for a week and then drive home. I’m likely staying at...

Mis post...oops

I bought mine from city racer. Toyota stickers on the box. That being said, I have one, renting is possible, but I live in Hinton which may make it tricky.

Rats, if I had more notice I could have made it work. Made some camping plans in valemount. I’m looking for excuses to test out the new tow rig and that would have been a perfect road trip! Have fun!

You may have all seen the posts in other corners of the web but I figured I would post here as well since it is local to the OCC. Over sept long there is the Alberta Outdoor Adventure Expo happening in the western part of the province. A bunch of truck based vendors, a few trail runs, some...

I am in and will be arriving on Friday evening. Emma is a solid maybe. If anyone has a particular camp spot they dream about, post a screen shot of the location and we can meet there on Friday evening. Might be easier due to us coming from all over.

I’ll be there Friday evening as I have to work on Friday. If I sneak out the back door of the shop a bit early I can be there around 6:30-7:00 and I’ll wait at the ruby kiosk for someone to show me the camping spot.

By clicking on the little symbol on the map it gives you more info. the bridge is good, but the road is washed out 5km north of the river. Easy drive around with any of our trucks though, did it last weekend pulling my trail trailer. my bet is it is fixed before we go through. There is a huge...

The first 3 pics are slide #1 Fourth pic is slide #2 Fifth is flooded roads at the rock lake camp ground

Well...our plans changed. Short story: We did not make it. Long story: We all arrived at the two lakes camp ground on the evening of the 1st, just as planned. But not as planned was 98mm of rain causing a mudslide which took out the road just south of the campground. We could no longer get to...

I’m excited to check out Swerve. We will be dragging our m101 named Dash behind us with what sounds like a very similar setup. I have no doubts we will find a great place to setup a base camp for our time there. So as far as I can tell, our current list of attendees is: -Jon,Emma and Dash...

I will also bring a chain saw. Depending on timeline, we may be able to go find a nice camp spot and get a good stack of wood setup while we wait for the whole team to arrive. Peter, are you going to be trailering there? If so, which trailer? That may effect which campsites we are able to pick...

Emma and I are going, this trip will be awesome!

Emma and I are starting to think about getting ready to begin packing. We’ll be taking hwy 40 through grande Cache if anyone wants to join us on the scenic route. My parents are coming along as well with their atvs
